Application of value engineering techniques to choose improved foundations instead of traditional spreader foundations For the residential house in a community area

Abstract

In the current housing construction, the construction style has changed. construction process or materials used In order to develop the construction of a residential house that costs less. Faster construction time But still maintain the same quality and engineering features. Therefore, this research compares the traditional spreading foundation with the modified foundation using bored piles without foundation. In the construction of a single-storey residential house, which can reduce the construction process. and can also work in crowded community areas and less work space because they use machinery that can be moved easily and does not affect the community area This research started from the survey of information needed to design the foundation of the house. Then a questionnaire was taken from engineers and contractors to determine the key factors of foundation construction. Then, the obtained data was analyzed according to the 6-step value engineering analysis process. From the comparison of price and construction time for a one-storey house, it was found that the use of renovated foundations had less construction costs and It takes less time to construct than the construction of a flat foundation.
